Is there a virus that infects the brain, develops a parasite that nests in the brain and changes the behavior of the host?

No, but certain infectious proteins, they are called prions. Priones, however, are not self-reproducing units, such as viruses.

They make your brain a “smooth” and you will die and lose control over your body, expressed unscientificly. In cattle, it is called bovine madness in humans Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

In humans there is toxoplasma gondii, about 50% of Germans carry the parasites, toxoplasmosis increases the risk readiness in humans (parasite).

Sounds like science fiction and fascination. Viruses cannot develop parasites (=multicellular pathogens). But yes, there are those who infest the brain (e.g. FSME) and yes, sometimes they cause hallucinations, confusion and hyperemotion (as is the case with rabies).

There are viruses that attack the brain and change the behavior.

This includes, for example, the rabies virus. People with rabies often develop hydrophobicity, so fear of water.

But viruses do not develop parasites themselves. One can vllt argue that the viruses themselves are parasites because they can only multiply by other beings, but that is not what one imagines under a classic parasite.

No, a virus has nothing to do with a parasite and can not generate anything from nothing. Anyone who has such fantasies and does not get rid of them should get professional help.

No, viruses are parasites.

You can change behavior in rare cases. For example, the rabies.

Viruses are not parasites.

They are clearly parasitic in their effect. They take a cell and use it for their own reproduction.

Yes, because there are no living beings, but in some way they are.

Virus and parasite?

This has nothing to do with

But yes there are parasites that influence the host

Which ones who take him the fear so that he may die earlier and the parasite may eat him

Which ones leave a halucination

Yes, unfortunately, there is something like that. In the sense that people become aggressive or lethargic
